Jr Inn Sapporo South

“specious room”

about 10 mins walk from the JR station, Room is specious, clean and comfortable. Public bath is VERY crowded at night, you can't even get your clothing from the locker.

“Enjoyed the stay!”

Stayed 7 nights and the room had everything that I needed. Room has TV, air cleaner, hot pot, ice pot, toilet, and shower facility. Room was small, typical of Japanese hotels, but a bit larger than I had thought prior to the check-in. I was told that room is cleaned every fifth day if one stays l… more

Stayed 7 nights and the room had everything that I needed. Room has TV, air cleaner, hot pot, ice pot, toilet, and shower facility. Room was small, typical of Japanese hotels, but a bit larger than I had thought prior to the check-in. I was told that room is cleaned every fifth day if one stays longer than 5 days. However, I suspect that the room would be cleaned upon request. I was provided with amenities everyday. The lounge at B1 has a bunch of Japanese books and mangas, vending machines, coffee machine, microwave, and ice machine. The public bath was very clean and well-maintained, which I really enjoyed. One may have breakfast at Yayoi for 900 yen, but I did not try. Location is almost perfect, very close to Sapporo Station. For a solo traveler, definitely a go for JR Inn!

“Nice hotel, great location.”

The hotel location is excellent, just several minutes' walking distance from Sapporo Station, and best of all, you can use the underground pass and use the elevator at exit 23, and from there it is only around 200m to the hotel (or exit 22 if you do not mind walking the stairs, then it is only arou… more

The hotel location is excellent, just several minutes' walking distance from Sapporo Station, and best of all, you can use the underground pass and use the elevator at exit 23, and from there it is only around 200m to the hotel (or exit 22 if you do not mind walking the stairs, then it is only around 150m to the hotel). We stayed there in winter when it was snowing heavily outside, so we were very grateful for this. Less than 10 minutes' walk away are famous landmarks such as Sapporo Beer Factory, Sapporo TV Tower and Odori Park. The staff were all very patient, friendly and helpful. Room is quite standard sized for a Japanese hotel in the city, small but clean. I liked the fact that they have a wide range of pillows that you can freely choose from, and also that there are coin-operated washing machines and dryers available. Our rooms came with breakfast at the adjoining Yayoi restaurant. I am not sure whether it is standard for this hotel or whether it is because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but there was no buffet, and instead breakfast is available in only 4 fixed options (3 Japanese style and 1 Western style), which is the same every day. For example, no eggs, milk, cereal, etc. as what you might expect from a standard Western style breakfast, and the side dishes for the Japanese style options are also fixed so there is no variety. It is not a big problem for the average traveller just staying one or two nights, but having more variety would be nice for example when you are staying for more than a few days, or are a fussy eater. Children set meals are also available at very affordable prices.

Second time staying in this hotel. The hotel is probably full this time, can see the front desk staffs are exhausted during peak check in hours. Need to walk few minutes on the street before one can go down to the understand ground arcade which takes you to train/subway stations and various shops, department stores, restaurants. Room is quite small and difficult to open two 28" suitcases at the same time. The worst part of this hotel is they will not handle the luggage courier delivery for you They will accept incoming luggages delivered by couriers days before you arrive and check into the hotel, but will not call up the couriers to send you luggages to your next destination. So need to take those 28" or 30" suitcase to the courier office which is several minutes walk from the hotel by yourself. This wont pose a problem if the weather is good (not snowing and no icy street). . But walking with heavy luggages in Dec or Jan is risky .

Second time staying in this hotel. Walking to and from the hotel to train/subway station during winter time is not easy for seniors as the pedestrians path is very slippery. Laundry room is extremely busy. Will not arrange courier pick up of luggage to be delivered to your next destination. Need to carry those heavy suitcases to the courier office several minutes from the hotel. This may not be a problem in good weather but definitely a challenge during winter time. They do accept luggage to be sent to them by courier before you check in. Will consider other hotels in the neighborhood when visiting Sapporo in future
